Audio Unit Effects (Mac Only)

VST Effects
- Enable VST effects: Check to enable VST effects
- Display VST effects in graphical mode: Check to display VST effects in graphical mode
- Rescan VST effects next time Audacity is started: When this option is checked, the next time Audacity is started it will scan all the standard locations for VST effects on your operating system, and add any new effects it finds to the Effect menu. After the subsequent launch this option will be unchecked. Since scanning for VST effects slows the launch process, Audacity can launch faster if it doesn't have to do this scan unless the user explicitly asks for it.
ToDo - add links to pages (if they exist) explaining what the various effects types are.
